More info needed....

"...in the El Cajon area..." was it in the incorporated city limits or the unincorporated area? If the actual origin of the crime hasn't been determined, it would be unfair to connect El Cajon to this crime. A more fair representation would be better to refer to the crime occurring in "East County" not El Cajon if that's the case.
